Rick

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Boxer Mischling Rick – ein kleiner Sonnenschein wartet auf seine große Chance Der im Mai geborene Rick ist gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Tara im spanischen Tierheim gelandet. Dabei sollte das Leben für so einen jungen Hundebuben doch voller Abenteuer, Geborgenheit und schöner Entdeckungen sein. Rick ist noch ein richtiges Hundekind, das die Welt entdecken möchte und nun auf Menschen wartet, die ihm zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester teilt er das Schicksal, im Tierheim auf seine Chance warten zu müssen, statt behütet in eine glückliche Zukunft zu starten. Rick ist ein Boxermischling, möglicherweise könnte auch ein Mastin mitgemischt haben. Genau wissen wir es nicht, aber wir gehen davon aus, dass aus dem kleinen Kerl einmal ein großer Hund werden könnte. Rick sucht eine liebevolle Familie, die ihn geduldig und einfühlsam auf seinem Weg ins Erwachsenwerden begleitet. Er muss natürlich noch alles lernen, was ein Hund für das Leben in einer Familie wissen sollte. Mit Zeit, liebevoller Erziehung und gemeinsamen Erlebnissen wird er Schritt für Schritt zu einem treuen Begleiter heranwachsen. Wer möchte Rick an die Pfote nehmen und ihm die Welt außerhalb des Tierheims zeigen? Ein Hundekind wie er sollte seine Zukunft nicht hinter Tierheimgittern verbringen müssen.

About Rick

What life with Rick looks like

Rick is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rick, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rick?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rick on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rick if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Rick already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rick isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rick and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
